Mary was more blessed in accepting the faith of Christ than in conceiving the flesh of Christ. To someone who said, 'Blessed is the womb that bore you,' [Jesus] replied, 'Rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.' Finally, for His brothers, His relatives according to the flesh who did not believe in Him, of what advantage was that relationship? Even her maternal relationship would have done Mary no good unless she had borne Christ more happily in her heart than in her flesh.

In a large saucepan, combine the rice and 1-1/2 cups of the chicken broth;
bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then lower heat to simmer. Cover
and cook for about 15 minutes; set aside. In a large skillet, cook carrots,
zucchini, and yellow squash in butter just until softened, about 2 to 3
minutes. Add wine and cook for 2 minutes more; set aside and keep warm. Add
remaining 1/2 cup broth to hot rice over medium-high heat, stirring until
broth is absorbed. Stir in cooked vegetables, cheese and pepper. Serve
immediately.

A Message from our Provider:

“Who hears \”Depart from me, for I never knew you\”?”

Often we refuse to forgive others because we mistakenly think that to do so is to minimize their sin. “And that’s not fair! He really hurt me. If I forgive, who’s going to care for me and take up my cause and nurse my wounds?” God is. We must never buy into the lie that to forgive means that sin is being whitewashed or ignored or that the perpetrator is not being held accountable for his/her actions. It simply means we consciously choose to let God be the one who determines the appropriate course of action in dealing justly with the offending person… To long for justice is entirely legitimate, but to seek it for yourself is not. Let God deal with the offender in his own way at the appropriate time. He’s much better at it than your or I.
